Slow Tears

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
'n wonder if I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep 'n insightful
as though you're always in control
But not today
not now...

Now you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
'n be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
'n wipe the tears from my cheek..
